BUPROPION vs LIRAGLUTIDE

As I get older, I’m starting to become more aware of the telltale signs that my depression symptoms are getting worse. I’ve noticed that one very specific symptom is that I feel nostalgic about so many things. In a melancholy way, not a fun way. I think it’s my brain’s way of trying to comfort me by

I obviously am not cured but it’s easily my favorite one I’ve been on. I want to know if y’all have ever started a med and were just blown away!! For me, it’s Bupropion (Wellbutrin XL). It helped reduce my depression smoking and my lack of motivation. I’ve genuinely never been happier. ETA: It’s bee

I have been a reader of this sub-reddit for some time now, but it is time for me to post. I am a first generation Asian-American and I have severe depression. I am taking bupropion sr1 at 50mg. The meds work for the most part to the extent that I can function, but at times I feel a huge surge of

So as the title suggests, ive recently come out of a huge stent of depression, about 10 years worth. Because of how long ive been depressed, most of my entire personality was taken over by it. I became withddrawn, self defeating, gave up my activities and hobbies years ago because they were no long

I have been so exhausted lately that I am on the verge of dizziness some days. I get about eight hours of sleep, so I should be well rested enough, but I wake up barely able to get out of bed. It's also really cold right now, which is sapping a lot of what little energy I have left. I am trying not

After four years on a low dose of bupropion XL (100 mg) , I decided to stop taking it. My pharmacist told me to taper off slowly, so for the first 2.5 weeks I took it every 2nd day, and for the next 2.5 weeks I took it every 3rd day. The tapering process went smoothly, so I figured it was safe to st

I’ve been depressed and anxious since I was 10 (turning 22 this year..) and it almost feels like every year, I just lose a piece of myself. Every year, I lose more energy and more hope. I struggle with so much self doubt and self hatred. I wouldn’t kill myself but I often think of how great it would

I'm only 4 foot 10, and gained about 15 pounds in 4 months on mirtazapine. That is something like the equivalent of 6 or 8 dress sizes. I need to stay on the drug because of the severity of my depression and sleep dysfunction, with long covid. Over the course of 2 months I've lost 9 of those pounds,

After two consecutive blood tests showed and A1C of 4.5-4.6, my primary care physician had me drop my T2 meds. I achieved these results through diet and exercise, supported by my meds. First he had me drop Jardiance, and that went fine. Another 4.6 A1C. Then he had me drop Victoza/Liraglutide and Me

Slight cross post from a r/KaiserPermanente thread of mine. After 2 years and 4 denials to see an endocrinologist as an uncontrolled T2D, I finally got them to accept the referral after asking for a formal denial letter so I could go self-pay to an out of network hospital system a few counties away.

I was diagnosed with T2 back in November and it gave me a scare. I’m in the morbidly obese category and on liraglutide to help. I don’t think it’s working well for me but that’s a separate issue. I feel like I need another kick, I haven’t received a lot of support from my GP (in the UK) and I am try

What do you guys usually do with leftover medication? This is 0.5mg and based on my usual dosage of 1.8mg/day, I rarely have enough extra across 3 sticks to constitute one last dose at the end of the medication period. Do you still use the extra?

Hi all I’ve been diagnosed type 2 this January and have since been on a mix of metformin, glimepiride, and sitagliptin none of which lowered my sugars very much. My nurse has suggested that I could go onto a daily or weekly injection (Liraglutide/Trulicity) to help stimulate the insulin levels. Does

When I was first diagnosed, I couldn’t afford my medications to keep everything maintained. My A1C is sitting somewhere around a 7/8. Two years later, I moved to 12u long acting and around 20-30u of fast acting. Doctor tried to put me on Ozempic, but I ended up in the ER from an allergic reaction.

For the past 5 months I have been working really hard on my diet and fitness level where i've pretty much got it in lock down. I've integrated healthy eating and going into the gym in a very sustainable way where it's a part of me now. It is kind of surreal to think now there were days on end I woul

It works by helping the pancreas to release the right amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. Liraglutide injection also slows the emptying of the stomach and may decrease appetite and cause weight loss. It's been a couple of days and I'm having some trouble with nausea. I've found that
